Whoever named Gemini at Google really named it. In the mythology, the immortal twin gives up his immortality to save the life of his mortal twin. It’s just like Google giving up 100% of its free cash flow to make sure Deepmind survives.

@pablopompo History of the Conquest of Mexico by William H Prescott amazon.com/History-Conque…

@typesfast Source?

When the first Spaniards arrived in Mexico they asked the natives what the place was called. They responded “Yucatan,” which meant “I do not understand you” — and that’s how the Yucatan peninsula got its name.

@ricardo323_ @grok what's the origin of the name "Mexico"?

@typesfast Mexico did not exist back then. There was no such thing as Mexico. Get that straight

@Scotian82 Please let this be true

@typesfast When the Spanish conquistadors sailed past Canada they said “ACÁ NADA” (here nothing) & the name stuck 🇨🇦😆

A gentleman is never rude except on purpose.

Nightmare situation for sailors in the gulf

@Jason_Hartley @grok What is Google's free cash flow projection for 2026?

@typesfast Well they are printing more money than a mint every single quarter and consistently out performing all growth expectations. Google is THE player.

The OOCL Sunflower is currently moored at the Long Beach Container Terminal: atlas.flexport.com/vessel/id:c54c…

The vessel OOCL SUNFLOWER encountered heavy weather en-route to Long Beach and suffered a container stack collapse. Flexport has begun notifying all customers with cargo on the ship to expect delays and inspect any containers that arrive for damaged goods.

Great hat

@burrytracker Left off huge investment in SpaceX plus Cursor seed round

Sam Bankman-Fried had the best venture portfolio in history What SBF bought vs. what it's worth today: • Anthropic: $500M → $30.4B (+5,980%) • Robinhood: ~$546M → $5B (+816%) • Solana: 60M SOL at ~$8 → $5.3B at $89 (+1,012%) If he did nothing illegal, he'd be worth $40 billion today Instead he's now he's inmate #37244-510

The world has too many podcasts but did in fact need one more. The @Zipline story is such a crazy one to start with. Subscribe you will not regret.

@may967873 @BlackLabelAdvsr @grok Where does it say that the government has to pay interest on tariff refunds?

@typesfast @BlackLabelAdvsr Where is it in writing that says the government has to pay interest? A court can’t order interest unless it’s in law

The U.S. owes $700 million more in interest every month it delays IEEPA refunds.

@BlackLabelAdvsr The admin will defy the courts? Or they’re gonna win their appeal?

@typesfast But that’s assuming companies get a refund. Fewer than 5% will ever see a single dollar.

@traders_guild @pmarca The VC you're talking about built the web browser

@typesfast @pmarca VC's don't build anything, they gamble that others will succeed or fail.

Marc severely underestimates the amount of time Alexander the Great spent reflecting on his conquests. He conquered 30+ kingdoms in 16 years. That left an average of 4-5 months on horseback as he marched to the next kingdom he was compelled to defeat. Plenty of time for introspection.

@Perpetualmaniac They blew up the Port of Salalah in Oman last week.

@typesfast We have this thing called radar. And water is flat. Drones would stick out like a sore thumb and we can shoot them down, or hit them with our drones or lasers. Or do you suddenly think the US military doesn't have counter measures?

So we are going to send ground troops into Iran rather than building a PIPELINE bypass? Is this really happening?

@Deep_Star_Six @Perpetualmaniac Where will the ships load the oil from the pipeline?

@typesfast @Perpetualmaniac They can put the pipeline underground.
